Modeling Fair Friedrichshafen 2012

Some pictures from the modeling fair 2012. Yesterday we were giving a little driftshow at the tamiya booth. Here are some impressions from that. PS: if you want pictures from other modelmaking booths (not rc drift related) please let me know in the comments ;)

Beautiful Twins

The two Team Samurai FCs. The green one belongs to Takumi and the purple one is mine.

Low and flush, just as we love them ;)










Sadly my body isn't finished yet - still missing wipers, mufflers, a wing and the light kit.



I hope you enjoyed our little "preview" shooting. Both will get some more details and then we'll take some action shots.
Stay Tuned

purple FC: "Team Samurai RX-7" from Yokomo
Paintjob: Tamiya Lame flake, than translucent pink backed with gunmetal grey, pure gunmetal grey for the hood

green FC: Rx-7 Street version from Yokomo

Slam it to the ground - VW Golf (Rabbit) IV V6

This Golf is a rebuild. I bought the body on ebay together with a Tamiya FF-01 months ago.
The body was very damaged and the preowner had no skill...

But I worked on it to make the Golf (a lot) better than before ^^

This was the result after hours of work :

"Tuningworld Bodensee 2012"

Some pics of four days full of work...

Scrachin' Low - Lexus GS400 VIP (PT.2)

Here comes the 2nd part of the GS400 Story.

I finished most of the things for the car and decided to make a Lexus GS400 and not an Aristo, because in my opinion Lexus is more luxurious...


After the paintjob:




The highlight of this car is it's airride system. I need the airride because the tires would scrape the body without it and it's a very cool show-effect!

Here is a little video of the Airride:

It's still a work in progress, so more pictures are coming soon.
